From 87245135d5057edd5a8037131f81eeffd76d4fef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 16:27:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] allow_signal: kill the bogus ->mm check, add a note about CLONE_SIGHAND allow_signal() checks ->mm == NULL. Not sure why. Perhaps to make sure current is the kernel thread. But this helper must not be used unless we are the kernel thread, kill this check. Also, document the fact that the CLONE_SIGHAND kthread must not use allow_signal(), unless the caller really wants to change the parent's ->sighand->action as well.
